Re: Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya eyes a prize

Yes, we are a member nation, and we do take a lead role far too often, but that is still not the same as stepping outside those organizations and doing it all on our own.

AUSTAN GOOLSBEE:I think the world vests too much power, certainly in the president, probably in Washington in general for its influence on the economy, because most all of the economy has nothing to do with the government.

Re: Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya eyes a prize

J, pay attention, no matter how many members are in the UN that you don't like, or who don't contribute, it does not change that it is a UN mission. Nor does it change that it is different than a US mission outside the UN and NATO.

And I stated an opinion as to where our mission should not go. But, as to where have we done that, decide who rules a country or regime change, Iraq would fit that definition, as we decided it would not be Saddam. That is not our call. It was never our call. That always should ahve been up to the people of Iraq.

Alright, you pay attention pal, What do you think Obama is doing in Libya right now?

I'm not 100% sure, which is a concern. But so far it is within the UN and limited. If he choose to invade and change the regime, he will be wrong. This is up to the Libyian people and the US.

You sure about that? You don't know what he is doing 100% but you are sure it is within UN mandate? how is that?

This is up to the Libyian people and the US.

Oh, so Obama and the Libyans can make that choice and if they choose regime change you are perfectly ok with that, but let a repub do nearly the EXACT same thing and you are nothing but name calling and snotty vitriol...

You make me chuckle dude.

From the information we have, yes. What I don't know is what comes next.

J, go with what I said and not what you want to pretend I said. I clearly said Obama cannot decide that and ONLY the people of libya can.

Say something worth paying attention to then, instead of spinning, and BSing your way through life.

J, just because it isn't what you want said doesn't mean you shouldn't respond to what was actually said.
